TEHCC Trail Relocations

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This wiki page is to capture relocations of the Appalachian Trail. Some relos will result in a change of trail distance, thus reported for annual data book update. This page, like the trail itself, is a work in progress to figure out how to best use the available tools.

Relos to be Measured[edit]

Active relocations:
- South of TN91
- Second leg of Turkeypen Gap - by SAWS
- Backbone Rock Trail (blue blaze)

Maps[edit]

Note: The red line is a very simplified version of the AT route. End of the club's trail maintenance sections are marked. This map has also been used to review where invasive species are located and older trail deficiencies for some internal efforts.
